Abstract
AbstractIn the present paper the synthesis of optically active copolymers from (−)‐menthyl acrylate (MtA) and 1,2‐diphenyl‐1,2‐ethanedione‐2‐O‐acryloyloxime (BMOA) by radical initiation is described. The copolymers obtained, having different contents of photosensitive O‐acyloxime moieties, were characterized by FT‐IR, 1H NMR and GPC measurements, and their chiroptical properties investigated by circular dichroism. The induced chirality on BMOA co‐units is assigned to isolated rather than to sequential BMOA units. Thus, the induced chirality is due to the molecular dissymmetry of individual O‐acyloxime chromophores flanked by opticaly active MtA units.
